		Schilderte Forster diesen Konflikt anhand der beiden männlichen Hauptfiguren Dr. Aziz (Victor Banerjee) und Fielding (James Fox), verlagert Lean die Erzählung auf das Verhältnis Aziz und Miss Quested (Judy Davis), die in Indien eine Art sexuelles Erwachen erlebt, was sie selbst und in der Folge das gesamte Land in Aufruhr versetzt.
		Die britischen Darsteller - allen voran die großartige Judy Davis in einer ihrer ersten und besten Filmrollen - agieren brillant (Peggy Ashcroft erhielt als Davis' zukünftige Schwiegermutter einen Oscar und so ziemlich alle Filmpreise, die in diesem Jahr vergeben wurden).
		Die indischen Darsteller lassen allerdings teilweise zu Wünschen übrig, und David Lean neigt dazu, sie als Clowns zu inszenieren.

	She’s Been Away Film Review - Time Out Film
		Scripted by Stephen Poliakoff, the first 35mm movie wholly financed by the BBC, this has the incomparable Ashcroft as an elderly woman, put into institutional care when still a young woman, released in her twilight years by the agency of her liberal nephew (Fox).
		Ashcroft's problem is not mental illness but a surfeit of stubborness and independence, the former communicated by her weapon of silence against repressiveness, the latter by flashbacks which show her as a young, vaguely libertarian and feminist fl sheep.
		The grudging but gradual bond between the two women leads, almost inevitably with Poliakoff, into a spot of picaresque delinquency in the family Daimler and the realisation that all is not well with this seemingly ideal marriage.

		The central women are excellent with Ashcroft being the stoic and sensible creature too polite to betray her true feelings to her British peers and yet understood by Indians becuase of her grace, calm and connection.
		The scenery is stunning and electric and the film seems to say as much to say about 1980's Anglo/Asian relations (10 years had passed since the first major wave of immigration to the UK from India and Africa when this film was made) as it does about those of the 1920's.
		Peggy Ashcroft did a marvelous job, I thought - the best performance in the film.

		The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 15.2146 Monday, 27 December 2004 From: Al Magary Date: Wednesday, 22 Dec 2004 01:50:29 -0800 Subject: Peggy Ashcroft ODNB Bio The new Oxford DNB has daily free email bios that have included some really choice figures--fabulous courtesans are preferred over dull clergy--and today's life is about Dame Peggy Ashcroft.
		It began with her as an auburn-haired French bride of startling girlishness; progressed in the middle section to the isolated foreign queen and maddened, blood-streaked, battle-hungry she-wolf; and ended with her as a sad, bedraggled figure, haunting the court she had once entered as a young bride.
		It was not merely her protean range that astonished-it was the revelation of an untapped demonism lurking within Ashcroft herself and of an overwhelming imaginative power.
